- I don't know why some contrib software has Imakefiles that seem to generate
- Makefiles with this problem, but I've never really looked at it.
-
- Simple solution: edit the Makefile, find the line that says something like:
-
- DEPLIBS= $(DEPXAWLIB) ...
- DEPLIBS1=...
- DEPLIBS2=...
- DEPLIBS3=...
-
- As I recall, I just comment out the DEPLIBS line, or maybe the 4 lines and the
- problem goes away.
-
- I think it's got something to do with whether or not the dir that you're
- working in is in the proper spot in the original X11 tree... I could
- be way off base here though.
